by the way, congratulations for your grandma, Telle.

Obrigada, Ezra!

do you include my Brazil on this?

Well, not really.

If anything, Brazil may be seen as more...exotic than most South American countries. It probably has something to do with all those supermodels and hair straightening treatments.

And, yeah, the Portuguese aspect sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of Spanish-speaking South America.

A Brazilian friend of mine (who is of Korean descent) has noticed that Brazilian girls who move to the United States seem to become more haughty and pretentious once they get out of Brazil.

[Telleriab2]

"I'm Brazilian, therefore you must stand in awe and amazement at how special my Brazilianess is."



My friend just says the girls turn meaner in the United States.

[Kelp]

I wonder why. It's not like Brazil is the most crushingly socially conservative or countries.

[Kelp]

To attribute it to some kind of culture shock, I mean.

what´s Olive Garden?

Like said, it is a chain of Italian restaurants in the United States.

As for authenticity: the commercials on T.V. talk about how authentic their "Tuscan-style" food is.

As my logic goes: It probably isn't that authentic.

[Telleriab2]

But I do like Olive Garden better than Romano's Macaroni Grill.

The food there is and the prices are almost as bad as buying 3 loaves of Cuban bread for $25.

Hiya, Kelpermeister. How's it going?

[Telleriab2]

I managed to sell $20 in madeleines today!

[Kelp]

Hiya, Kelpermeister. How's it going?

Ok. You?

[Kelp]

I managed to sell $20 in madeleines today!

Nice

[Telleriab2]

I sold all of the madeleines I had made for the baby shower (that was on the wrong date)!!!

[Telleriab2]

...That means I don't have any "freebie" madeleines so those frats can mooch off.

[Telleriab2]

Eh. I have pity for them

I'll make at least one batch of lemons on Tuesday.
